  • Q- What is your cancellation policy?
  • A- As long as there is a 2 hour notification, the session will be rescheduled at no cost. If there is no notification, there will be $30 added to the session fee when rescheduled. I will send out a reminder e-mail 24 hours before your session. I want your pictures to be a true representation of the person, and their personality, so if your child is not having a good day, we will reschedule at no cost. A crying baby or unhappy child does not look good in pictures!!

  • Q- What should I wear for my pictures?
  • A- Wear solid colored clothing so that we see all of your faces and no one person stands out. If you wear stripes or flowers, you will stand out from the rest of your group.

    Choose muted tones that are a bit subdued so that you are the subject not your clothes and you don’t stand out from the group. Bright colors project (especially reds, oranges, and yellows), which also makes you look larger.

    Choose similar tones for your top and bottom (both dark or both light) so that one doesn’t look bigger than the other. White top, dark pants will make your top look bigger, while white pants, dark top will make your butt look bigger.

    Choose 1-3 colors for your group portrait, ones with similar tones that go nicely together and have everyone work within that color palette. For example: dark green, navy, and burgundy – all dark jewel tones, or tan, a lighter olive green, and denims – all lighter, softer tones. So that we see the people first and your portrait looks stunning. Wedding group photos look so good because they’re all wearing the same colors and the people stand out!

    Choose a top with sleeves at least to the elbow, because your arms take up more skin area than your face and will draw attention and it may also make your arms look larger

    Choose long pants for men/ladies or a skirt below the knee for ladies so that your legs don’t take attention from your faces, and you will be able to sit and bend without showing too much leg

    For guys, choose dark socks and footwear (unless it’s a barefoot photo on the beach) because white just sticks out like a sore thumb and that’s all you’ll notice in your portrait

    Keep jewelry and hair styles simple and minimalistic because too much draws attention from your face

    If getting a haircut or new hairdo, make your appointment at least 2 weeks prior to your portrait session. Fresh hair cuts rarely look their best the same or next day. Ladies need time to practice working it, men need it to grow out just a little. Allow some time to live with your new look before your portrait session.

    Above all else, be comfortable in what you are wearing, if you are comfortable, then you are confident and that will show in your photos.
